    1. Marriage dissolution policies in late 1890's - Turner, Flood, Eubanks
    2. I have a situation where I have 2 marriage licenses for my greatgrandmother Mary A. Turner (maiden name) who married Will Flood in 1894 and Henry P. Eubanks in 1900. Mary had a child in 1896. I cannot find any documentation of dissolution of the Flood marriage to enable Mary to marry Eubanks. I don't know what happened to Flood, but he may have abandoned Mary - would that be grounds to legally dissolve the marriage? What other situations would have enabled a married woman to be able to remarry? What legal actions would have been taken (and what documentation would exist)? If there are web sites or other sources of information concerning this, please provide. I have visited the Perry Co. courthouse and looked through their documents, but of course may have missed something. Thanks for your help in advance.
